the sunnis seem to be with them. >> reporter: commitment of u.s. military help. that is a very good start. that is what has been promised by secretary kerry. he worries the help needs to go side by side with political commitments from the actors on the ground. take a listen, miguel. >> the support will be intense, sustained and if iraq's leaders take the necessary steps to bring the country together, it will be effective. it will allow iraqi security forces to confront isil more effectively and in a way that affects iraq's sovereignty, while also respecting america's and the region's vital interests. >> reporter: that is pretty crucial, miguel, if they take the necessary steps. it's by no means guaranteed now. difficult to get the sunni tribes to move over with the isis extremists, to move to the government's side without serious commitments from the ruling from prime minister nuri al maliki, that they will be inclusive. the policies being extraordinarily discriminatory. it will be behind them. time is of the essence here. now, much of the ground, this is what we are hearing from security forces, much of what has been already lost to isis is going to be very difficult to retake, even with a commitment from the sunni tripes. let alone they spend time trying to cut the best political deals. time is absolutely of the essence. that oil refinery you mentioned is on the highway to baghdad. if that falls, then isis is another crucial step closer to the iraqi capitol. miguel? >> thank you very, very much. hard to see how that dynamic changes. a poll shows the american public unhappy with america's performance. 58% disapprove of the way president obama is handling foreign poll sis. a slim majority, 51% support the decision to send 300 military advisers to iraq. breaking overnight, stunning allegations of doctored paper work. veterans records were altered to cover up how many of them died waiting for health care. she was ordered by supervisors in phoenix to make changes. >> somebody is going on that electronic wait list and where people are identified as being dead, somebody is changing that and saying no, they're not dead. >> correct. >> to hide the fact people died on that list?
